‘Well within their right’: Fans rain boos on players as Eels suffer worst home loss in 31 years

Keano Kini set up four first-half tries and finished with 226 metres as Gold Coast scored nine tries and posted its second-highest NRL total.

  • On Sunday, the Gold Coast Titans defeated the Parramatta Eels 52-10 at CommBank Stadium in Sydney, marking Parramatta's worst home loss in 31 years. The Titans scored nine tries to dominate the match.
  • Kini finished with 226 metres, four assists, and nine tackle busts, tearing apart a Parramatta defence that has conceded 226 points through six rounds. The performance consigned the Eels to second-last place on the ladder.
  • Parramatta coach Jason Ryles criticized his team's lack of desire, stating, "We've just got 50 put on us at our home ground, so the fans are well within their rights to be doing that." The Eels also lost forwards Sam Tuivaiti and Kelma Tuilagi to head injuries.
  • Gold Coast coach Josh Hannay praised his team's defensive grit, stating, "We're becoming that team that can be a gritty defensive side." The victory marks only the second time in club history the Titans have surpassed 50 points.
  • With a mounting injury toll, Parramatta faces the Canterbury Bulldogs next Sunday while remaining second-last on the ladder. The club struggles to find form while missing several key players to season-ending injuries.
